Sometimes you need a cake that looks as lovely as it tastes. Sometimes you need a cake that you can slice and serve in little more than an hour. Sometimes you just need cake. Any cake. Well, we’ve got good news. No matter your cake needs, this Sour Cream Peach Pound Cake meets them. It’s buttery and velvety, with a crumb that’s delicately flavored with vanilla and dotted with sweet, fresh peaches. And it’s a cinch to make. Take a look.

The cake is a basic pound cake recipe, with some sour cream added in. The result is a moist and smooth texture with a subtle tang. The chopped, fresh peaches are suspended in the batter like little jewels, and the whole thing is finished with the simplest glaze that sets off the sweetness perfectly.

We love simple cakes like this, and we especially love it when they hit that balance of sweetness so perfectly. A simple cake shouldn’t be cloying or fussy, and this one is neither. It’s at home at a cookout, alongside some afternoon tea, and dare we say as a quick slice for breakfast.

As far as we’re concerned, life is just too short to say no to cake and there’s no reason to say no to a cake that’s as easy and delicious as this. So go get baking!
